Crawling back here for the “xxth” time.

Oh hello. It’s so good to see me, isn’t it? I have been meaning to make a come back to writing on here. Life got in the way. It’s been a rough few months and that’s honestly an understatement. I think writing and having a creative outlet will help, so here I am.

Instead of going over everything that has happened and hasn’t happened since my last post I am just going to summarize what I have been up to lately. First and foremost: I am officially leaving the gaming console space. Playstation was my preferred way of gaming for literal YEARS so this is a huge decision and not one that I make lightly may I add. It’s a bittersweet feeling. I’ll be missing out on some exclusives and timed stuff (GTA VI but my backlog and Steam library is 700 games strong and counting so I got plenty to do while I wait for PC release). It doesn’t feel worth it to me anymore. I got my Steam Deck in June of 2025 and I am still absolutely in love with the thing. I’ve also been making use of cloud gaming through GE Force Now which has been working out great for me as well. I figure if I am going to go digital, I am going to go digital with PC. Sony is making such a bad decision with discontinuing physical editions of games. I know already in some cases, you purchase a game and it’s just a code or voucher for said game. It’s wild. Also realizing the scam of Playstation Plus, paying to play games online and also paying to “own” certain games until you decide not to renew. My PS Plus runs out next week and I’m not going to renew it or resub again in the future. I won’t get rid of the console because everything now is expensive but my main platform is the Deck, Laptop and cloud gaming. Never thought I’d see the day…

Currently, I am still on my Dead by Daylight kick, though was very let down by the actual event for the 10th anniversary. I’m hoping it is improved for next year or they do something different. I’m also back into gacha games. I restarted Wuthering Waves when they were running the Cyberpunk Edgerunners banners and pulled Lucy and got Rebecca for free. I also pulled Lynae and Shorekeeper so far for this current patch. I’m doing the story and everything in order so I still have a ways to go before I get all caught up so I’m not really bothered if I’m not pulling the brand new resonator banners. I’m still in 1.0 main story right now. I’m also very excited for the new Infinity Nikki patch which drops in a couple of days. Both new 5 star banners look gorgeous, all the free outfits, the new Miracle Outfit, new region and grand finale of the Itzaland main questline have me hype! I can’t wait to see where the story goes and maybe we will get a hint of the next big region for 3.0?

Anyway, that’s about it for now. I’m hoping to get through a couple books I bought recently and catch up on some horror movies and shows as well. I also want to update the look here and maybe work on some other pages but we will see.

Until next time, for reals. Thanks for reading!

Looks like we’re working together!

The new Stranger Things chapter for Dead by Daylight released today! I played it all evening since I was actually having so much fun with it ❤ Playing against The First/Henry is probably the most fun I have had in this game since 2v8 mode started… seriously! There’s so much going on and so much interaction between survivors and the killer, in my opinion. Something that I feel has been lacking for a good while.

This is also my favorite interaction in the entire game now 😀

I managed to get Adept for Eleven. I want to try for other characters, too. I got so many on Playstation and sadly it doesn’t carry over 😥

I also don’t mind Nancy’s new face or voice. I think BHVR are going to update her face again, though. I do miss Steve’s original screams. RIP Steagull 😦 all the new voice lines are cool at least.

I also love that there is a Stranger Things themed rift pass. Although, it’s weird how it seems only certain new chapters get anything. I guess it depends on the license and how much it will sell, sadly. I do love that Feng Min gets a cosmetic. I also love all the badges and banners. Finally, The Dredge community skin in this rift is so good! I was a bit let down by the one from the previous rift so this is exciting!

Anyway… so ends my session for the evening. I mostly played Nancy and Eleven. I’m thinking my prestige choices may have changed. I still need to play Dustin and Eddie!

No Infinity Nikki tonight… I need to finish up basic stuff tomorrow before the new patch hits on Thursday.

❤

I have returned…

Yes, for real this time.

I ended up deleting my Bluesky account since I am basically over social media. I want to go back to the days of blogging instead of posting every little thing on socials. So, I think this site will just be a daily life blog and maybe it will evolve into something more eventually!

The main thing I want to talk about is INFINITY NIKKI! My obsession for the past year plus now since the first anniversary was in December 2025. I haven’t stuck with an ongoing live service game like this one. Lately, I have been slacking off a bit with stuff. It’s mainly crafting and doing side quests. I make sure I do all the limited time stuff before it goes away, and I now pull for at least the default version of each outfit. I am missing 4 outfits still from not doing that… well 3 Pearpal outfits from Exploration Season and one banner outfit from Shooting Star season. I’m hoping that they will all re-run this year so I can finally have at least one variant of each outfit!

My main goal is to try to finish up with collecting and crafting all the Miraland stuff, and then move on to the Itzaland stuff. Only exception is the Miracle Outfit for Itzaland stuff it’s gorgeous and I want to try to craft it soon! I think it will also help in the long run of unlocking crafting materials for future Itzaland stuff.

Tonight alone I was able to craft 4 different outfits and I finally got the rest of the Danqing season chests which I have been putting off for literal months. I was able to craft all of those sketches as well, so really it was five whole outfits that I crafted! Tomorrow evening, I am hoping to craft some random Miraland sketches and finish up two other outfits I haven’t found all the chests for.

Here are a couple of outfits that I have on my outfit wheel at the moment which I love ❤

Apologies for the quality. I play games on my Steam Deck now 100% of the time and I need to figure out how to get better screen shot quality at some point. Either that or just not be lazy and actually edit photos properly again.

Anyway, I think that’s all I have in me to write about for now. Dead by Daylight has chapter two of Stranger Things releasing tomorrow which is exciting and I truly hope it brings back some fun to the game. Lately it has been super toxic and unfun, even with chaos shuffle modifier 😦 I also need to work on completing all the Life is Strange games (1 + 2 again, the others will be first play through), get back into Outlast Trials… play some Resident Evil games. Just play ALL the games basically 😀

Until next time!! Which hopefully will be tomorrow ❤

xoxo, Bunny.

EDITing to say I logged back into Infinity Nikki and crafted more things 😀 The Wishful Aurosa makeup set is complete ❤

gaming, hi, idk how to tag properly, infinity nikki, steam, steam deck, video-games
The town calls me…

First things first. I cannot currently login to my Bluesky account because I exceeded the rate limit? I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I tried logging in from my laptop and I usually use the app but who knows! Maybe it’s a sign. My phone app logged itself out and I changed my password as well, but still cannot login. Oh well!

Admittedly, I have been super lazy about writing, especially on here. I’m still not 100% sure what to do, so for now I’m just going to post random journal entries like I used to back in the Livejournal days.

Dead by Daylight has another iteration of the 2 versus 8 (2v8) mode going right now and this time LEGION IS NOT INCLUDED!! Dracula and Pyramid Head were added ❤

There are also new cosmetics for Dracula and Pyramid Head, along with a legendary skin for Trevor Belmont which is… RICHTER BELMONT! Finally!! And Cheryl Mason has a new skin as well which I actually quite love:

It’s an original cosmetic idea for her, which I am assuming is based on if she actually followed the cult in Claudia and Dahlia’s footsteps instead of breaking free and having her own life (eventually) post Silent Hill 3 events.

So far, the matches have been super fun in 2v8. It’s honestly the best mode in the game when it’s running. I love how chaotic it is having 7 other teammates and 2 killers chasing after you. The killer roster also has a lot of my favorite killers to play against and I don’t have to deal with Ghoul for the next 2-3 weeks which is always nice. I’ll definitely be playing 2v8 a lot until it’s over, then will take a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong break until holiday event starts in December.

I also managed to get Cheryl to p100 this evening!

She is my FIFTH p100 character. My p100’s in order are: Feng Min, Sable Ward, Jill Valentine, Mikaela Reid, and Cheryl Mason ❤ I’m a survivor main through and through but I dabble in killer from time to time, and I understand the arguments they make about the game. No idea who my next p100 will be… maybe Yui or Lara!

The weekend is incoming and I have a lot I need to do and want to do… I need to get back on track with my Korean studies. On Sunday I plan to do a full review of everything we have done so far so I can be super prepared for my class Monday night ❤ I also need to work on my portfolio and resume… I sense a change in the near future. I also want to catch up with Welcome to Derry and watch Frankenstein and Weapons. AND START A BOOK AND ACTUALLY FINISH IT 😀

I also need to go through a bunch of things, organize, write/journal, take and edit photos.. the list goes ever on. Maybe it’s a good thing I can’t login to my Bluesky account right now.

I was going to talk about my video game backlog and my steam deck here, but I think I’ll save that for my next entry. Until next time ❤

first post, finally!

WELL. After almost an entire year of procrastinating, here I am! Opening up this blog! I meant to open this at the start of the year which then turned into the spring. Then it became the summer. Now, after learning some slightly unsettling things about Bluesky and their leadership, I figured I would just open the site up even though I’m still not 100% sure what I really wanted to do with. For now, this place will just serve as a little space for me on the internet to write and talk about things. So, here we go?

I spent the majority of my time gaming this past weekend. I actually ended up finishing my first playthrough of Silent Hill f which I absolutely loved! As a female, I could relate to a lot of the themes that were presented in the story, and could also relate to the protagonist, Hinako, though we come from different backgrounds.

I also thought the game was just… tragically beautiful. Here are some non-spoilery screenshots I took of my playthrough:

I’m looking forward to learning more of the story through getting the other endings for the game. Once I am completely finished, I will post more thoughts about the game.

I also played some survivor matches in Dead by Daylight. I really wanted the new Yui cosmetic:

Dead by Daylight (2016), Behaviour Interactive

Dead by Daylight (2016), Behaviour Interactive

The collaboration is with the Japanese anime, Nyaight of the Living Cat. I honestly don’t know too much about it. I will say though that Yui’s cosmetic is really nice and it’s probably going to be one of my top played cosmetics for her now. She already has some of my favorite cosmetics in the game. I’d love to also get her to prestige 100 rank. I already have 3 at prestige 100: Feng Min, Sable Ward, and Jill Valentine. I’ll be adding Mikaela Reid and Cheryl Mason shortly as I have been working on leveling them up. Yui and the new survivor, Vee, will be joining. And maybe Lara Croft as well!

Despite all the ongoing issues with the game, it will always be one of my most cherished and favorite games of all time <3.

I also watched the new V/H/S Halloween film on Shudder. I actually quite enjoyed it. I don’t go into these movies expecting a whole lot. There was talk of an AI generated image in the first short which bums me out if it’s true. Otherwise, I thought this collection was pretty solid. I don’t think it’s my favorite one, though. I really liked how crazy Beyond got. That one definitely went places…

I did start *attempting* to watch the new Monster series about Ed Gein. Ryan Murphy definitely Ryan Murphy’d. If you know, you know. Keep this man away from true crime, please.

Hmm, I think that’s really all for now. Tonight I’m going to play either Bad Cheese or Dead Reset so I don’t get burnt out by Silent Hill f. I also have a bunch of Korean homework to do that I have been putting off, yay.

If you read this, thank you and I hope you enjoyed it. I’ll try to actually draft up some more posts for reviews and opinion pieces soon. Until next time.
